In case you missed it, earlier this week 500px-er and Norway-based landscape photographer Tor-Ivar Naess shared a great beginners tutorial on how to capture the Northern Lights (aka. Aurora Borealis) the next time you have the opportunity to see this amazing natural display.

You should really go read that tutorial right now, because if you do, you may someday soon be able to go out and capture photos like these 15 stunners from Tor-Ivar’s profile:
